Spaghetti Aglio E Olio Pasta
I have to say that this dish is one of the easiest pasta recipes, I know. It is hard to believe that a simple and fast dish can be this good. I make it very often when I get that pasta craving.
Now, I know, I know that usually in this dish, you slice up the garlic very fine and cook it until it is darker in color. I do not like to do it this way, for I find that by the time you fry the garlic slices to the right wellness of being done. It will take too long and the oil and the garlic will lose their properties and turn the oil into an unhealthy meal, by becoming saturated fats. By mincing the garlic, it is cooked faster and releases its flavor into the oil. Thus making it a more healthy meal.
Let me know how yours turned out, by making a comment below.
Ingredients
1/2 pkg. - Spaghetti, al dente,
1/4 cup - Olive oil
6 to 8 cloves - Garlic minced or finely sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings - Hot red pepper flakes, chopped parsley
Tips
The salt in the pasta water should be enough to give flavor to your dish, do not add extra.
Pasta should be Al Denta, remove one minute before pasta being done.
Overcooking the oil will turn it into Saturated fats, after two minutes of cooking the garlic, turn off the heat.
